HOW TO BREW | FRENCH PRESS

This is a simple brewing recipe using a French press, which is used at THE WORD COFFEE.

What you need

・Purified water or soft mineral water

・French press body

·kettle

A coffee scale, smartphone timer, or kitchen scale

Recipe

Ratio: Coffee powder/water = 1:15-1:16 *This time, 15g powder: 240ml water

Mesh (grind size) / Medium to medium-coarse

Water temperature: 100-90℃

- Place the press body containing the powder on the coffee scale.

As soon as the timer starts, pour in the entire amount of hot water from a slightly elevated position, stirring vigorously.

- Insert the plunger and press it 3 to 5 cm above the surface of the water, then hold the main body and spin it lightly, then wait 4 minutes.

After 4 minutes, slowly pour into a cup and it's done.

- Tip -

By not pushing the plunger all the way to the bottom, but by floating it about 3 to 5 cm above the surface of the water, you can achieve a relatively clean finish with less fine powder.

*If you feel the coffee is too powdery, you can adjust the grind size. (Because the French press uses a metal filter, it is impossible to completely remove fine powder. If you want to remove fine powder, please use a separate fine powder separator.)

The strength of the coffee can be adjusted by changing the ratio of grounds to water .
